Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs Noah (Conference League)
Chelsea FC are set to take on Noah this Thursday, and no, it's not Joakim, or Yannick. When it comes to Noah, we first think of the tennis legend turned pop star, and then also his son, a former NBA All-Star, because the football club is that obscure. Noah, an Armenian professional football club based in Armavir, is so obscure that when you Google them, you don't even see … [Read more...] about Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs Noah (Conference League)

Chelsea FC Injury Updates: Levi Colwill, Reece James, Noni Madueke, Carney Chukwuemeka
Chelsea currently sit in within the top four of the Premier League at this October international break. It would appear, at least from what we just said that the rebuilding project is starting to truly take shape now. Why? Well, there are a lot of reasons, but first and foremost, they have far fewer injuries this season than last. However, they still do have a decently sized … [Read more...] about Chelsea FC Injury Updates: Levi Colwill, Reece James, Noni Madueke, Carney Chukwuemeka
Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs Nottingham Forest
Jadon Sancho may be the latest example of a certain phenomenon that we've been seeing a lot of in English football lately. Maybe the problem isn't the player at Manchester United, it's the club itself. If Sancho scores for Chelsea on Sunday, versus Nottingham Forest, United supporters might just lose their minds. The wayward winger has had an assist in each of the last three … [Read more...] about Chelsea FC Starting XI Prediction vs Nottingham Forest
